Individual and Partial Withdrawals - Undergraduate Students

Students who wish to withdraw from a course or multiple courses (but not their complete registration) may be eligible for tuition credits. Students contemplating a withdrawal will be financially responsible for the time they have spent in the course.

The calculation of tuition credit for a partial withdrawal is based upon the number of hours for which the student is financially responsible. The responsible hours are calculated according to the percentage rate at which a course withdrawal is completed:

Course Duration

Adjustment for Withdrawal

Sixteen Week Term

Withdrawal during 1st week of term

100%

Withdrawal during 2nd week of term

75%

Withdrawal during 3rd week of term

50%

Withdrawal during 4th week of term

25%

Thereafter

0%

Ten Week Term

Withdrawal during days 1 - 5 of term

100%

Withdrawal during days 6 - 10 of term

50%

Thereafter

0%

Eight Week Term

Withdrawal during days 1 - 4 of term

100%

Withdrawal during days 5 - 10 of term

50%

Thereafter

0%

Five Week Term

Withdrawal during days 1 - 3 of term

100%

Withdrawal during days 4 - 6 of term

50%

Thereafter

0%

For example, if a student with 12 credit hours withdraws from 3 credit hours in week 3 at a tuition credit rate of 50%, the student will be responsible for 50% of the 3 withdrawn hours (1.5 hours). The student will receive a tuition credit of the difference between 12 hours and 10.5 hours (= 1.5 hours).

If your responsible hours after your withdrawal fall between 12-18 credit hours, there will be no adjustment of your tuition charges.

Use the calculator to determine whether you are eligible for tuition credits, should you withdraw from a class.

If you have used the withdrawal calculator to determine your eligibility for tuition credit, you understand what credit hours you are responsible for, and you have verified the resulting effect of a course withdrawal on your financial aid, you may go to SSB to complete an individual/partial withdrawal from a class.
